Hi,

For the past several months, we have had an intermittent problem where a process calling
kvm_openfiles(3) or kvm_getprocs(3) (not sure which) gets stuck in an infinite loop and goes to 100% 
cpu. We have just observed "fstat -m" do the same thing and suspect it may be the same problem.

Our environment is a 10.1-RELEASE-p6 amd64 guest running in VirtualBox, with ufs root and zfs /home.

Has anyone else experienced this? Is there anything we can do to investigate the problem further?

Thanks,
Nick
